'68 Barracuda Notch
I came home with and to a bunch of parts today. I got new dipsticks for the engine and trans, a new battery tray, my Doug's headers, a mini starter, pitman arm, speedometer cable and motor mounts.
So far, I know at least the speedometer cable and the motor mounts have to go back. The transmission side of the speedometer cable is the wrong size; its too small. I have a couple other part numbers to try (even though I bought what the computer at Autozone said should work for my car). The other thing I noticed is that the new cable doesn't have a grommet for the firewall. I'm curious how I'm going to get the one off of the old cable and onto the new one.
The other issue I had is with the motor mounts. Even though the computer says the driver side spool mount will work for a 360, its clearly the same part that I had for the 318. I guess I'll just use some washers to make up the gap.
Here's a shot of the old header and Doug's header for comparison.
One of the reasons I didn't like the old headers was the fact that the center link went through the header on the driver side. Is that the case with the Doug's? If it is, that's annoying, but at least they won't hang down so low.
